[staf-users] unable to explicitly unregister a timer entry

[Harsha <nh...@gm...>]

Hi All

For the first time I am using the STAF timer plugin. I was able to plug it
successfully in to the STAF runarea.
the timer service is also getting listed in the service list of the STAF
instance that is running.

However I am not able to explicity unregister a timer entry.

Instead I see the following error message. The time documenation for
UNREGISTER event says:

The result buffer will contain an error message if an error occurred and
will be empty otherwise.

I am obfuscated that:

Am I using the right command syntax to unregister a timer?
or the way I have plugged the Timer service is not proper?
or if the STAF Timer plug-in itself has defect (which I doubt)?

help me overcome this obstacle, please.
